"I've already sent your thirty-nine good brothers to Hell. Now, you can join them on the road, so you'll have some company."

As the words fell, a fierce gust of wind rushed straight at Yang Lie's face!

Apprentice Death God trembled slightly in his heart, instantly realizing that the figure in the black robe had finally made a move on him.

Moreover, this blow was likely delivered with a blade.

Though not in great condition, Yang Lie had, after all, the foundation of an Apprentice Death God, and didn't lose his composure. He casually grabbed a metal table and propped it up in front of him...

Ka—!

The blade sliced through the table like butter, sparks flying everywhere...

"So sharp?!"

Yang Lie was shocked.

His conference hall was the core area of the Headquarters Building. To prevent enemy attacks, even the material of the tables and chairs had been replaced with bulletproof alloys, not as strong as those specialized for making weapons but still considered specialized steel.

However, such a large piece of steel was sliced open with such ease by the blade, barely blocking any of its power.

This blade, so sharp, likely at least reached "Police Level" standards.

"Limb Enhancement!"

Yang Lie dared not hesitate anymore, forcibly activated the Power of Sequence, and with a stomp, retreated half a step.

But he was still slightly slow, and the tip of the blade gruesomely split open half of his left shoulder, blood flowing freely.

"What a terrifying weapon!"

Yang Lie gritted his teeth, his shoulder throbbed with pain, and his left hand was weakened.

Having personally taken a blow, he could feel that the power of the attacker was not strong, perhaps at the level of an Apprentice Death God, but at least much weaker than him.

Yet, the blade could easily cross the gap in physical strength and critically wound him, truly formidable.

And more importantly...

At the moment the blade touched his muscle, Yang Lie felt a hint of "human" warmth, and an unmistakable biological texture.

"This isn't purely a blade, but something akin to a biological weapon."

In a daze, he considered this possibility.

"Perhaps someone with the identity of an Apprentice Death God, whose power isn't as strong as mine, but possesses a massive biological weapon capable of easily slicing steel..."

"Could it be?!"

"But how is that possible, how could..."

As the elements combined, a answer suddenly emerged in Yang Lie's mind.

However, this answer was so bizarre that he couldn't believe it.

"It's too dark... She probably has night vision goggles, in such conditions I have no advantage!"

"I need to first create a light source."

Seeing the figure in the black robe ready to strike again, Yang Lie steeled his heart, muttered silently—

"Mad Dog Sequence: Wolf Blood Pursuit!"

In an instant, the blood from his shoulder sprayed out, ignited fiercely in mid-air, transforming into a red curtain, setting fire to the hall's carpet and the figure's robe.

"It's you?!!"

Seeing the massive red scimitar on the right arm of the person before him, Yang Lie's pupils contracted, fully comprehending the identity of the figure in the black robe.

This person, who orchestrated the entire plan, turning his Headquarters Building into a slaughterhouse, besides Yun You, who else could it be?

But how was this possible?

Clearly, two days ago, he personally severed the girl's spinal cord and ruined her internal organs.

There, under those circumstances, whether judged by humans or analyzed by AI, the result would only be certain death.

It's only been two days, just 48 hours, yet she's alive and well standing before him?

What about the massive internal bleeding? What about the poisonous Alisu? What about the creature they had constantly fed, Taishan?

Where did those things go? Why didn't they claim Yun You's life?

Yang Lie couldn't understand, couldn't comprehend at all.

"Of course it's me, who else could it be?"

Yun You sneered, no longer using a fake voice.

"I crawled out from Hell."

"Now, I'm here to collect debts for myself, for my kin... To avenge Jack Carlos and claim the blood debt you owe!"

The young woman, wielding her blade, walked ever closer, surrounded by flames of wolf blood.

Her robe's edges slowly turned to ash under the burning fire, her hood flipped back by the hot air, her verdant hair fluttering in the wind, shining amid the blood and fire.

"Arrogant fool!"

Yang Lie held his shoulder, cursed under his breath, and raised himself from the ground.

Following the shock from before, he wasn't as fearful of Yun You now.

"Just an intern, still carrying traces of infantile scent, daring to challenge me one-on-one..."

"Even if drunk beyond reason, with only a tenth of my strength remaining, crushing a Death God baby is still no big deal!"

The words were not an exaggeration.

Among Apprentice Death Gods, high-tier suppressing low-tier is extremely potent, not just with physical advantages but also with an additional array of skills.

With such disparities, engaging in cross-tier battles, especially one-on-one, the lower-tier party stands almost no chance.

"Did your teacher never teach you?"

Yang Lie flexed his wrist and shoulder, a sound of "crunching" echoing from his joints.

"The essence of Apprentice Death God's battles lies in intelligence gathering. The most crucial intelligence is the opponent's abilities."

"I'm not only two tiers above you but also possess two more abilities, and I know your Sequence is Mad Dog, so your traits should be identical to mine."

"Despite such disadvantageous conditions, you dare challenge me to a one-on-one duel... courting death!"

He crouched low, mimicking a "wolf's" hunting posture.

Wolf Blood Pursuit's strength transformed his exuded blood into armor, adhering to his limbs, making him resemble a massive wolf.

"I can kill you once, I can kill you again..."

"Die!"

The red-haired Death God roared, fully transforming into wolf imagery, lunging at Yun You!

His greatest concern in this battle was the darkness.

If deprived of vision, drunk as he was, the girl would toy with him until death.

But now things were different, with wolf blood upon him, Yun You was left with nowhere to run.

No matter how strong her physical attributes, they couldn't compare to Yang Lie with his high-tier Sequence.

"With this claw I'll sever your head! Then present it to the council... Thus no matter how much your master pursues, it'll be in vain!"

Yang Lie thought, as the blood claw on his hand approached Yun You, even grazing her hair.

Just a few more inches forward, and he'd slice her slender neck.

But at that very moment, Yang Lie suddenly realized the girl before him seemed to be smiling...

Laughing at his arrogance, laughing at his ignorance.

Sequence transformation.

The wolf head emblem on the girl's hand instantly morphed into a Cloud Mist Short Knife.

"Invisible Sequence Feature·Divine Concealment, activate!"

In just a moment, the girl before Yang Lie vanished into thin air.

And he pounced into nothing, crashing hard onto the ground.

The force of his fall was so great that even the hand that was enveloped in blood armor was distorted.

"Ah...!"

Fingers connected to the heart, the intense pain rendered Yang Lie unable to contain a scream, devoid of past majesty and composure.

"What is happening? Why did she disappear?!"

Yang Lie sweated heavily.

The Yun You who was before him indeed vanished, along with the flames of wolf blood on her body gradually dissipating.

It shouldn't be possible. He specifically added viscosity to the wolf blood, ensuring it adhered tightly to the opponent, shaking it off impossible.

But Yun You achieved it.

Even without the cover of darkness, she could completely conceal her form.

"You think I came without preparation? You consider me a mere ant to be crushed?"

"You think you'll die so easily, without much agony before descending to Hell?"

"Keep dreaming!"

Yun You's smile faded, her angry voice echoed from all directions, omnipresent.

"I said I'm here for retribution, I'll make you repay all you've owed."

"Your debt... we'll start with that prosthetic blade!"

Without warning, Yun You's figure appeared behind Yang Lie, swung a blade—

Ka~!

Yang Lie instinctively dodged, but Red Scale Scimitar still sliced from under his arm, cleanly severing his right arm.

And the hidden... two-meter-long prosthetic blade within it.
